An exceptional TV documentary about cannabis in New Zealand

"Inside New Zealand: High Time?" is the most successful installment of the "Inside New Zealand Series", having been broadcast the most times (three) and winning TV Times Pick Of The Week every time.

Director Arik Reiss turns his camera on the underground cannabis market, where he is granted unprecedented access to black market growing operations, gangland tinny houses, and illicit cannabis clubs that are openly flouting the law.

With a stellar cast of international commentators supporting his basic premise that prohibition causes more harm than cannabis which should be legalised for the public good, the documentary shook up the tired standards of New Zealand's middle road broadcasting, slipping past the Broadcasting Standards Authority to make a profound impact on the cannabis debate in that country.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
